My postal woman has been working overtime delivering packages to my house! Not only did two of my swap packages arrive, but also my Poloko (deluxe even!) that I won from Funky Finds:

Poloko was made by Fluffels - an absolutely amazing plush site in the Netherlands. If you frequent Craftster, you may recognize their fantastic winning plush entry, Zombie Bear. She also has an etsy shop where she sells Fluffels kits. Poloko is now sharing a shelf with Plucky.

My first swap package was I <3 sewing.

Winstongang put this one together - she must have sneaked into my sewing room because she selected some notions that I was in dire need of. First I received a cute needle card (my current hand needles are too thin to work with), baby buttons, a new tracing wheel and paper (one of the spikes on my current tracing wheel is bent which always messes up my paper), and an adorable new pincushion. The pattern is for sewing room accessories which I will eventually put to good use. There is also 3 different fabrics - a seersucker-ish fabric, a novelty flannel, and an adorable dot cotton print. Lastly, she made a lined tote! Taylor took off with it yesterday as she said it was the perfect size for her belongings when she goes to cheer practice.

The second package was from Kayrun for the Christmas in July Stashbuster swap. The premise of this swap was to create gifts for your partner's friends and family using nothing but the supplies in your stash (I hope there's more, I really enjoyed this one, although it didn't make a dent in my stash!). Inside my box was a book and mini stocking for Easton (she even had a book stash!), arm warmers for Taylor (who happened to see these, immediately put them on and wore them for hours - I guess they won't be a Christmas gift after all), dish rags (it's hard to see the details, but the pink one has a crown on it, adorable), and a knitted tote. The tote hasn't been claimed yet, but it's only because I've hidden it!

Now it's time to concentrate on my two upcoming swaps - A Week of Baby Onesies and Another Pincushion Swap. Both of these are fairly low pressure so I'll be able to work on other projects (so long as Easton decides to sleep) as well!
